Are you a confident and experienced social worker passionate about children and youth? Borlänge Municipality is now looking for a new colleague for our Joint Intake Unit, where we work with a holistic approach and individualized support.

Who We Are

Since 2022, the social services in Borlänge have had a Joint Intake Unit where all cases from our residents come in. The unit acts as the hub of the social services, and we strive to meet residents as individuals from a holistic perspective. With the help of our competent employees, we offer a good start and guide individuals to the right support based on their specific needs.

The Joint Intake Unit currently consists of 16 social secretaries with competencies from all areas of social services authority, i.e., children and youth, financial assistance, addiction, and VINR (Adults in need of interventions for abuse and addiction).

To best meet the needs of our clients, we have divided the team into case handling for children and adults, respectively. The Joint Intake Unit is led by three senior social secretaries who together lead and distribute the work. The unit's management structure also includes an assistant unit manager and a unit manager.

The Joint Intake Unit is part of the Intake and Prevention Unit (MFE). The unit also includes the Social Emergency Service Dalarna and Family Counseling, as well as several preventive and promoting activities that all work with advice and support in open forms where authority decisions are not required.
